WRONG once again Ace.
LR never said that so stop imaging things.
LR instead said that human beings are Trifarious in nature.
Trifarious definition: facing in three different directions
Material-physical, mental and spiritual.
That means that by feeding only one or two of these natural tendencies and neglect the rest there would naturally arise an imbalance in the person or society when most people follow this imbalanced way of life.
So materialism is not evil in nature but become evil once it is taken as the main object of our
tendencies and when we neglect mind and spirit.
Okay, you never said materialism is useless. Fair enough. However you seem to be very intent on taking issue with materialism.
My problem with this is we have no proof of anything but the material world in that we have no proof of anything spiritual or anything outside of nature.
So this idea of humans being having a need for spirituality is completely unfounded.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
